I'm writing a JavaScript widget, which is intended for use on other website and loads additional script files from my own web site (which basically means no XHR due to cross-domain limitations). Now I want to handle failures gracefully - if one script fails to load, I want to load the script from an alternate server. I managed to handle...

I'm the admin for a large media intensive site. We've done some experimentation with our video MIME types. We've alternated between forcing the download using Content-Disposition: attachment + Content-type: application/octet-stream and actually returning the proper MIME type.

For this user it seems to load the same page/question over and over again, where as it should advance to a new question after every question answered.

I am testing the speed of different methods to dynamically add html elements to the DOM. I've build a tester here (code is working version, so pretty sloppy). The results are (very) different for different browsers with Chrome getting all the points for speed, and Opera a good second - but that's not the question here. In Firefox I det...
As a side result of testing some code I wrote a small function to compare the speed of using the array.push method vs direct addressing (array[n] = value). To my surprise the push method often showed to be faster especially in Firefox and sometimes in Chrome. Just out of curiosity: anyone has an explanation for it? You can find the test ...

Hello all, My users keep complaining that a link does not show up for them. For me, I have tested this on several browsers and it works for me.

I know that modern browsers generally have two render mode: standard mode and quirk mode. The browser detects the heading DocType. The question is how to detect render mode of current page at runtime. Is there any Firebug tool to do that? ...

How can you tell (or: what will determine) when the browser decides to go into "quirks" mode rather than use it's more standards compliant engine? I'm looking ...

The fields are populated with default values, but in many cases the user will wish to enter their own. When the page loads, the value in the first field is selected, so the user can either replace it by simply starting t...
